There are some 2 ww's where I have a drink here or there and then others where I don't...usually I go by my attitude. If I have a good feeling I will swear off the alcohol, other times I feel like I will be out and what is the harm in having a martini with dinner or whatever. I tend to go back and forth on this; just wanted to see what others do...if it is one of those things you obsess over or not bother. My PG with my daughter was a total surprise and before I knew I had a few drinks and rode all the roller coasters at the theme park. When I got PG last year before my m/c, I swore off the drinks and refused even before I got a BFP. I am trying to figure out what I will do this month when I have dinner out next week.

A friend of mine was actually told by her RE that drinking a glass of red wine a few times per week during the 2ww is good, said something about increasing blood flow I don't remember exactly. I did drink a glass here and there during my 2ww.

I don't, but I rarely drink, so I don't really have the opportunity to turn it down. I am in the 2ww now, and I'm going to a party tonight - I might have a glass of wine, but like you said, it depends upon how I feel.

I completely AGREE!! I'm pretty sure if I gave up drinking during every 2 WW I'd be even MORE stressed than I already am which, in my opinion, would make the situation worse. To each their own!
Yep. It would just add insult to injury when AF showed up if I didn't let myself, and that would have been a long wait cycle after cycle after cycle. I always heard "drink til it's pink" too. I had a glass of wine the night before my BFP with DD!

This. I don't get sh** faced, mind you, but for as long as it takes for me to get pregnant, that is a long time of abstaining from something I don't do much anyway. Plus it is a total tell at parties and get togethers. Too much effort to explain if I'm not even pregnant.
